8 Hardware and Software Computer systems consist of hardware and software. Hardware includes the tangible parts of computer systems. Software includes programs - sets of instructions for the computer to follow. Familiarity with hardware basics helps us understand software. Hardware and Memory Most modern computers have similar components including Input devices (keyboard, mouse, etc.) Output devices (display screen, printer, etc.) A processor Two kinds of memory (main memory and auxiliary memory). 8

9 The Processor Also called the CPU (central processing unit) or the chip (e.g. Pentium processor) The processor processes a program s instructions. It can process only very simple instructions. The power of computing comes from speed and program intricacy. Memory Memory holds programs data for the computer to process the results of intermediate processing. Two kinds of memory main memory auxiliary memory 9

10 Main memory Working memory used to store The current program The data the program is using The results of intermediate calculations Usually measured in megabytes (e.g. 256 megabytes of RAM) RAM is short for random access memory A byte is a quantity of memory Auxiliary Memory Also called secondary memory Disk drives, CDs, DVDs etc. More or less permanent (nonvolatile) Usually measured in gigabytes (e.g. 50 gigabyte hard drive) 10

11 Bits, Bytes, and Addresses A bit is a digit with a value of either 0 or 1. A byte consists of 8 bits. Each byte in main memory resides at a numbered location called its address. Figure 1.1 Main Memory 11

12 Storing Data Data of all kinds (numbers, letters, strings of characters, audio, video, even programs) are encoded and stored using 1s and 0s. When more than a single byte is needed, several adjacent bytes are used. The address of the first byte is the address of the unit of bytes. Files Large groups of bytes in auxiliary memory are called files. Files have names. Files are organized into groups called directories or folders. Java programs are stored in files. Programs files are copied from auxiliary memory to main memory in order to be run. 12

13 0s and 1s Machines with only 2 stable states are easy to make, but programming using only 0s and 1s is difficult. Fortunately, the conversion of numbers, letters, strings of characters, audio, video, and programs is done automatically. Decimal (base 10) Binary (base 2) Hexadecimal (base 16) x x x x x x x x x x xA xB xC xD xE xF 13

14 Programs A program is a set of instructions for a computer to follow. We use programs almost daily ( , word processors, video games, bank ATMs, etc.). Following the instructions is called running or executing the program. Input and Output Normally, a computer receives two kinds of input: The program The data needed by the program. The output is the result(s) produced by following the instructions in the program. 14

15 Figure 1.2 Running a Program Sometimes the computer and the program are considered to be one unit. Programmers typically find this view to be more convenient. The Operating System The operating system is a supervisory program that oversees the operation of the computer. The operating system retrieves and starts program for you. Well-known operating systems including: Microsoft Windows, Apple s Mac OS, Linux, and UNIX. 15

16 Programming Languages High-level languages are relatively easy to use Java, C#, C++, Visual Basic, Python, Ruby. Unfortunately, computer hardware does not understand high-level languages. Therefore, a high-level language program must be translated into a low-level language. Compiling and Running a Program Figure

17 Compilers A compiler translates a program from a highlevel language to a low-level language the computer can run. You compile a program by running the compiler on the high-level-language version of the program called the source program. Compilers produce machine- or assemblylanguage programs called object programs. Compilers Most high-level languages need a different compiler for each type of computer and for each operating system. Most compilers are very large programs that are expensive to produce. 17

18 Java Byte-Code The Java compiler does not translate a Java program into assembly language or machine language for a particular computer. Instead, it translates a Java program into bytecode. Byte-code is the machine language for a hypothetical computer (or interpreter) called the Java Virtual Machine. Java Byte-Code A byte-code program is easy to translate into machine language for any particular computer. A program called an interpreter translates each byte-code instruction, executing the resulting machine-language instructions on the particular computer before translating the next byte-code instruction. 18

19 Compiling, Interpreting, Running Use the compiler to translate the Java program into byte-code (done using the compile command). Use the byte-code interpreter for your computer to translate each byte-code instruction into machine language and to run the resulting machine-language instructions (done using the run command). Portability After compiling a Java program into byte-code, that byte-code can be used on any computer with a byte-code interpreter and without a need to recompile. Byte-code can be sent over the Internet and used anywhere in the world. This makes Java suitable for Internet applications. 19

20 Class Loader A Java program typically consists of several pieces called classes. Each class may have a separate author and each is compiled (translated into byte-code) separately. A class loader (called a linker in other programming languages) automatically connects the classes together. Compiling and Running a Program Figure

21 A Sip of Java: Outline History of the Java Language Applications and Applets A First Java Application Program Writing, Compiling, and Running a Java Program History of Java In 1991, James Gosling and Sun Microsystems began designing a language for home appliances (toasters, TVs, etc.). Challenging, because home appliances are controlled by many different chips (processors) Programs were translated first into an intermediate language common to all appliance processors. 21

22 History of Java Then the intermediate language was translated into the machine language for a particular appliance s processor. Appliance manufacturers weren t impressed. In 1994, Gosling realized that his language would be ideal for a Web browser that could run programs over the Internet. Sun produced the browser known today as HotJava. Applications and Applets Two kinds of java programs: applications and applets Applications Regular programs Meant to be run on your computer Applets Little applications Meant to be sent to another location on the internet and run there 22

23 A First Java Application View sample program Listing 1.1 class FirstProgram Sample screen output Some Terminology The person who writes a program is called the programmer. The person who interacts with the program is called the user. A package is a library of classes that have been defined already. import java.util.scanner; 23

24 Some Terminology The item(s) inside parentheses are called argument(s) and provide the information needed by methods. A variable is something that can store data. An instruction to the computer is called a statement; it ends with a semicolon. The grammar rules for a programming language are called the syntax of the language. Printing to the Screen System.out.println ( Whatever you want to print ); System.out is an object for sending output to the screen. println is a method to print whatever is in parentheses to the screen. 24

25 Printing to the Screen The object performs an action when you invoke or call one of its methods objectname.methodname(argumentsthemethodneeds); Compiling a Java Program or Class A Java program consists of one or more classes, which must be compiled before running the program. You need not compile classes that accompany Java (e.g. System and Scanner). Each class should be in a separate file. The name of the file should be the same as the name of the class. 25

26 Compiling and Running Use an IDE (integrated development environment) which combines a text editor with commands for compiling and running Java programs. When a Java program is compiled, the bytecode version of the program has the same name, but the ending is changed from.java to.class. Compiling and Running A Java program can involve any number of classes. The class to run will contain the words public static void main(string[] args) somewhere in the file 26

30 Programming Basics: Outline Object-Oriented Programming Algorithms Testing and Debugging Software Reuse Programming Programming is a creative process. Programming can be learned by discovering the techniques used by experienced programmers. These techniques are applicable to almost every programming language, including Java. 30

31 Object-Oriented Programming Our world consists of objects (people, trees, cars, cities, airline reservations, etc.). Objects can perform actions which affect themselves and other objects in the world. Object-oriented programming (OOP) treats a program as a collection of objects that interact by means of actions. OOP Terminology Objects, appropriately, are called objects. Actions are called methods. Objects of the same kind have the same type and belong to the same class. Objects within a class have a common set of methods and the same kinds of data but each object can have it s own data values. 31

32 OOP Design Principles OOP adheres to three primary design principles: Encapsulation Polymorphism Inheritance Introduction to Encapsulation The data and methods associated with any particular class are encapsulated ( put together in a capsule ), but only part of the contents is made accessible. Encapsulation provides a means of using the class, but it omits the details of how the class works. Encapsulation often is called information hiding. 32

33 Accessibility Example An automobile consists of several parts and pieces and is capable of doing many useful things. Awareness of the accelerator pedal, the brake pedal, and the steering wheel is important to the driver. Awareness of the fuel injectors, the automatic braking control system, and the power steering pump is not important to the driver. Introduction to Inheritance Figure

34 Introduction to Inheritance Classes can be organized using inheritance. A class at lower levels inherits all the characteristics of classes above it in the hierarchy. At each level, classifications become more specialized by adding other characteristics. Higher classes are more inclusive; lower classes are less inclusive. Inheritance in Java Used to organize classes Inherited characteristics do not need to be repeated. New characteristics are added. More about inheritance in chapter 8 34

35 Introduction to Polymorphism From the Greek meaning many forms The same program instruction adapts to mean different things in different contexts. A method name, used as an instruction, produces results that depend on the class of the object that used the method. Everyday analogy: take time to recreate causes different people to do different activities More about polymorphism later Algorithms By designing methods, programmers provide actions for objects to perform. An algorithm describes a means of performing an action. Once an algorithm is defined, expressing it in Java (or in another programming language) usually is easy. 35

36 Algorithms An algorithm is a set of instructions for solving a problem. An algorithm must be expressed completely and precisely. Algorithms usually are expressed in English or in pseudocode. Example: Total Cost of All Items Write the number 0 on the whiteboard. For each item on the list Add the cost of the item to the number on the whiteboard Replace the number on the whiteboard with the result of this addition. Announce that the answer is the number written on the whiteboard. 36

37 Errors An error in a program is called a bug. Eliminating errors is called debugging. Three kinds or errors Syntax errors Runtime errors Logic errors Syntax Errors Grammatical mistakes in a program The grammatical rules for writing a program are very strict The compiler catches syntax errors and prints an error message. Example: using a period where a program expects a comma 37

38 Runtime Errors Errors that are detected when your program is running, but not during compilation When the computer detects an error, it terminates the program and prints an error message. Example: attempting to divide by 0 Logic Errors Errors that are not detected during compilation or while running, but which cause the program to produce incorrect results Example: an attempt to calculate a Fahrenheit temperature from a Celsius temperature by multiplying by 9/5 and adding 23 instead of 32 38
